Can chiropractic manipulation correct vertebral malalignment in lumbar spinal stenosis?
13 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Unfortunately....no: As an osteopathic physician, whose practice includes "manipulative therapy, " it is my opinion that spinal stenosis is not correctable with any form of manipulation or physical medicine. This is unfortunately a surgical condition, and i would professionally recommend a consultation with a neurosurgeon, vs. An orthopedist. Your condition requires more expertise, and your end result will be better.

Who to see!!: I disagree with dr. Greenly as to what specialty of spinal specialist a patient should see. If you have a cranial based medical issue or a spinal cord tumor than you should see a neurosurgeon. However if you have a spinal deformity issue which can encompass spinal stenosis, than that is the domain of an orthopaedic spinal surgeon specialist! proper biomechanical restoration is the ortho domain!

No: No, it will not. Chiropractic care is a common option for conservative care for back pain. However, spinal stenosis is not due to a mal alignment . Check out Spine-health.com.
